Special Liquid Applied Hail and Rain Protection Process for commercial roofing as both hail damage resistance and Ultraviolet Ray protection

ABSTRACT

A liquid applied hail and rain protection roofing material for commercial applications and the process for applying the commercial roofing materials. This is an elastomeric material which is embedded with fiberglass and/or granules of stone-like rubber rock to provide for strength and to resist the hail. An Ultraviolet Ray protection can also be applied. The materials utilized increase the utility as a roofing membrane by making it more elastic and by resulting in greater flexibility at low temperatures and in greater heat resistance at high temperatures. This flexibility prevents softening/flow and deformation from mechanical forces, such as those associated with maintenance personnel walking on the roofing membrane. A roofing membrane may be formed of the material as a laminate of a plurality of types of modified layers at the worksite pre-made as panels then installed at the worksite.

BACKGROUND-FIELD OF INVENTION AND PRIOR ART

As far as known, there are no Special Liquid Applied Hail and Rain Protection Process for commercial roofing as both hail damage resistance and Ultraviolet Ray protection or the like. It is believed that these processes and use of products and materials provide methods and new compositions that are unique in their design and technologies.

BACKGROUND

Shelter is a basic human necessity with caves and trees no doubt serving as the earliest form of protection from the elements. One important function of a roof or wall is keeping rain or snow outside the dwelling. While caves served this purpose reasonably well, other structures proved more difficult to weatherproof, Additionally, although modern building techniques have overcome these problems, exterior surfaces still age and are subject to leaks. A leaking exterior surface can prematurely age an existing structure and require extensive repairs or complete replacement. It is known to apply weatherproofing materials to exterior surfaces to stop leaks and extend the life of the structure.

In the roofing industry and particularly the commercial roofing industry, exposed roofing membranes have become prevalent. Single and multi-ply roofing systems, and others using an exposed membrane, although very effective are subject to greater damage from hail impact than some other types of roof systems. The roofing industry tests for hail presently utilize a ½″ to 2″ steel ball. The ball is accelerated to terminal (free full) velocity and directed at a roof assembly to measure hail impact. Recently, hail testing has been developed further to enable the shooting of actual ice balls from an air cannon through a timing device at a root assembly which has been cooled to 38° F. with chilled water. This test more realistically shows the effects of various size hail ice balls from ½″ to 5″ diameter at various mph speeds into a roof assembly sample. A 3″ hail ball approximately the size of a baseball will fall in still air at 95 to 97 mph. If the 3″ hail is caught in a down draft of wind it can increase its speed. Some 3-inch hail impact dents on sheet metal equipment on roofs hit by hail required a 3-inch hail ball to be shot at 150 mph to replicate the dent. At 100 mph, a 3-inch hail ball will go through ½-inch APA approved oriented strand board (OSB) wafer board and at 135 mph and 3-inch hail ball will go through ½-inch plywood.

The present invention is for a system and method of creating a continuous, seamless, waterproof, weatherproof, surface that can be applied over a great variety of structural components. The method comprises coating the selected surface with a base elastomeric coating thus sealing holes, cracks, and other surface imperfections. A base elastomeric coating is allowed to dry and additional coat or coats as desired. The single or multiple coatings of an elastomeric coating is applied creating a continuous, seamless, waterproof, weatherproof surface. Other embodiments include strengthening elements to create durable, weatherproof surfaces.

In the present invention for one embodiment, the elastomeric material is embedded with fiberglass for strength and in others with granules of stone (rubber rock) to resist the hail. Elastomers can be Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS), Styrene-Ethylene-Betadine-Styrene (SEBS), or synthetic rubber. The materials are utilized to increase its utility as a roofing membrane, e.g., to make it more elastic, have greater flexibility at low temperatures and greater heat resistance at high temperatures to prevent softening/flow and deformation from mechanical forces, such as those associated with maintenance personnel walking on the roofing membrane. A roofing membrane may be formed of a laminate of a plurality of types of modified layers, e.g., a layer of a first type may be formed on the bottom surface that has an increased adhesive grip on the roofing underlayment and a different layer may be used on the upper surface that has enhanced weather resistance, etcetera. Adhesive layers may be applied to the membrane and panels to allow the membrane to adhere to a substrate and/or to adhere to an adjacent structure if needed or desired.

Problem Solved

The improvement and/or problem solved by the Special Liquid Applied Hail and Rain Protection Process include: a much faster application of a commercial roofing, hence reduced labor and costs; a better set of Eco/environmentally friendly materials; an ability to produce the roof panels off-site with less skilled employees hence reducing lead time and labor costs; offsite production of the panels lend to automation of coating and rubber rock; less needed field time which reduces construction project timelines; simple Ultraviolet light protection and deterioration of materials from exposure to sunlight; and provision of a tougher surfaces provide resistance and prevention of damage by hail storms.

No. 7,712,275 issued to Kelly in 2010 called a         Method for reducing roof membrane damage from hail/fastener         contact impact and a roof system having reduced membrane damage         from hail/fastener impact. This details a method for reducing         roof membrane damage from hail/fastener impact by locating a         fastener, positioning an energy absorbing material over the         fastener, and affixing the material to the fastener. Further         disclosed herein is a roof system with reduced hail/fastener         impact damage characteristics. The system comprises a roof         substrate having one or more layers of material at least one         fastener exposed at a top surface of the substrate a dedicated         energy absorbing material positioned over the at least one         fastener.

The panel consists of a         frame that may be performed or bent and may be made of rigid or         flexible material, and a panel covering comprising at least one         pocket of thin, low-density shade fabric that has the capability         of sufficiently stretching to surround the frame when the pocket         is pulled onto it. The pocket may be then secured, along any         previously open end where the frame was inserted, by various         fastening devices. The panel covering pocket may have additional         features added, as described herein. The panel is durable and         cost-effective and has good solar-control and insulating         qualities. It is also a windbreak panel, a noise-reduction         panel, an impact protection panel, a water-resistant panel, a         fall protection panel, and a pollution-control panel. Two or         more panels can be joined to create a structure-protecting panel         assembly or system.
